Have come to appreciate this game much more after playing the original Rally-X and realizing that this is such a better game that the original is basically rendered pointless. The game starts off much more forgiving, it has actual music, and it has the L flag, a really good way to rack up points by finding it as early in a round as possible. The rival cars still feel a little too fast, as even with the radar it's very easy to be completely caught off guard by one of them. Despite that, the changes from the original Rally-X even make failure more fun, as you feel like you can get a lot more done with every life, rather than being doomed to go back and forth between the same two points in the map trying not to get cornered by three cars. This is a game I could actually see myself putting the time into getting good at.
